Hi Everyone,

I wanted to say thanks again to everyone that has been in contact with me, either publicly or privately, it's been very overwhelming to say the least. Quite honestly, we would not be staying afloat right now without the help of this board. I know it's been a rough year on the court, but the help you guys have provided to my family...amazing. I wish I could high five/awkward guy hug each one of you.

My son is doing well, no active signs of cancer, which is great. Pretty anxious weeks ahead though, as a week from today, he'll have a stem cell transplant, with his twin sister being his donor. A few of you reached out back in November offering to be donors...awesome, I strongly encourage anyone that's ever thought of being a donor to sign up at Be The Match.

If you don't know what a stem cell transplant is, it's basically like an organ transplant...except a new immune system is being transplanted into my son's body. There's a million different ways this can go, so he will be in the hospital a minimum of a month, and it could end up being many months.

We're staying very positive, his energy and spirit give us the peace of mind to stay this way.

If you have the ability to share his Go Fund Me page (http://www.gofundme.com/gzrcnc) on Facebook/Twitter, I sincerely thank you. Prayers/thoughts just as important though too.

Go MU!

This is great news. I have been on the donor list for quite some time. Very willing to help if I am a match and it is necessary.

Sending my best. As someone caring for a family member with cancer, I know it is a hard road. Just keep positive.

That is fantastic news Dish.  Keep your head up, stay positive, and let it comfort you to have the support of MU nation. 

What your son and family has endured, puts everything in perspective.   It's not about W's & L's.  As a father of two young boys, my heart reaches out to you. 

Be strong bud.

God is good.

Continue to pray for the little guy as well as you and your family.
I can only imagine what emotions and energy levels you and the fam have had to deal with.
